The Socialist Workers' Party of Croatia said that Kim Jong Un's New Year Address indicates tasks and ways for stepping up socialist construction and the stand of the Workers' Party of Korea and the DPRK government on the development of inter-Korean relations and international relations.

It noted that his New Year Address is an immortal banner to be upheld for protecting the country's sovereignty and dignity, building a powerful socialist country and ensuring durable peace and security on the Korean peninsula.

It expressed full support for the New Year Address made by Kim Jong Un.

The Central Committee of the Lenin Young Communist League of the Russian Federation hoped that the Workers' Party of Korea and the Korean people will gain great success by bringing about a revolutionary upswing on all fronts of socialist construction this year. It went on:

We are convinced that bigger strides would be made in the struggle of the Korean people for national reunification, the long-cherished desire of the nation.

We will fully support the Korean people's struggle in the future, too.

The Congolese Association for Friendship among Peoples noted that self-reliance has served as a banner of struggle and driving force for a leap forward in the course of development of socialist Korea and extended firm solidarity to the Korean people's struggle for demonstrating the country's dignity before the world by their own efforts.
